Caution

Misuse of Lithium-ion batteries may result in the following
hazards: smoke, fire, or the battery may rupture. Misuse
can also cause damage to the battery or degradation of
battery performance.
R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packs
with Icom radios or Icom charger. Only Icom battery packs are
tested and approved for use and charge with Icom radios or Icom
charger. Using third-party or counterfeit battery packs or charger
may cause smoke, fire, or cause the battery to burst.

Battery caution
R DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the battery.
Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped,
or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pressure. Battery
damage may not be visible on the outside of the case. Even if the
surface of the battery does not show cracks or any other damage,
the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fire.
R DANGER! NEVER use or leave battery packs in areas with
temperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature buildup
in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside
a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to
rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may also degrade
battery performance or shorten battery life.
R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, seawa-
ter, or any other liquids. Never charge or use a wet battery. If the
battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.

BATTERY CHARGING

R DANGER! NEVER incinerate used battery packs since inter-
nal battery gas may cause them to rupture, or may cause an
explosion.
R DANGER! NEVER solder the battery terminals or NEVER
modify the battery pack. This may cause heat generation, and
the battery may rupture, emit smoke or catch fire.
R DANGER! Use the battery only with the transceiver for which
it is specified. Never use a battery with any other equipment, or
for any purpose that is not specified in this instruction manual.
R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes,
blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, without
rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.
R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an
abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of
these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor.
R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part
of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the
battery.
R WARNING! NEVER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-
pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker. This could
cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.
CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tempera-
ture range, –20˚C to +60˚C (–4˚F to +140˚F). Using the battery
out of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery's
performance and battery life.
